The exhibition by Emilio Ferro redefines the spaces of the Wunderkammer, transforming them into a crossroads between physical locations and inner landscapes.
At its core, Ferro’s luminous sculptures serve as silent guides—arrows pointing toward distant cities while simultaneously evoking deeply personal, introspective journeys. Direction To goes beyond mere geographical reference. Each artwork becomes a symbolic bridge between physical direction and the observer’s emotional and spiritual world.
The essential nature of the sculptures invites a deep connection with the suggested route, which may represent a future destination, a place from the past, or an unknown horizon. The artist has recorded the magnetic field of the exhibited works, sampling its sound and creating a soundtrack that makes the inaudible perceptible. The magnetic field—invisible yet present in all matter—becomes a symbol of the subtle connection between art, the environment and the human being.
